– Angular = = rate of change in angular velocity
– Linear = A = rate of change in linear velocity

• Problem definition: given the positions of the links, their
angular velocities and the acceleration of the input link
(link 2), find the linear accelerations of A and B and the
angular accelerations of links 2 and 3.
Solution:
– Find velocity of A
– Solve graphically equation:

•Find intersection and draw AtB and AtBA.

• Guidelines
– Start from the link for which you have most
information
– Find the accelerations of its points
– Continue with the next link, formulate and solve
equation: acceleration of one end = acceleration of
other end + acceleration difference
– We always know the normal components of the
acceleration of a point if we know the angular velocity
of the link on which it lies
– We always know the direction of the tangential
components of the acceleration

General approach for acceleration
analysis (4.5)
P, P’ (colocated points at
some instant), P on
slider, P’ on bar
• Acceleration of P = Acceleration of P’ +
Acceleration of P seen from observer moving with
rod+Coriolis acceleration of P’
13
Coriolis acceleration
Whenever a point is moving on a path and the
path is rotating, there is an extra component
of the acceleration due to coupling between
the motion of the point on the path and the
rotation of the path. This component is
called Coriolis acceleration.

Coriolis acceleration
• Coriolis acceleration=2Vslip
• Coriolis acceleration is normal to the radius, OP, and it
points towards the left of an observer moving with the
slider if rotation is counterclockwise. If the rotation is
clockwise it points to the right.
• To find the acceleration of a point, P, moving on a rotating
path: Consider a point, P’, that is fixed on the path and
coincides with P at a particular instant. Find the
acceleration of P’, and add the slip acceleration of P and
the Coriolis acceleration of P.
• AP=acceleration of P’+acceleration of P seen from
observer moving with rod+Coriolis
acceleration=AP’+APslip+APCoriolis

General approach for kinematic
analysis
• Represent links with vectors. Use complex
numbers. Write loop equation.
• Solve equation for position analysis
• Differentiate loop equation once and solve
it for velocity analysis
• Differentiate loop equation again and solve
it for acceleration analysis

Rolling acceleration (4.7)

P
No slip condition: VP=0 24
Find accelerations of C and P
• -(R-r)/r (Negative sign means that CCW
rotation around center of big circle, O, results in
CW rotation of disk around its own center)
• VC= (R-r) (Normal to radius OC)
• AnC=VC2/(R-r) (directed toward the center O)
• AnP=VC2/(R-r)+ VC2 /r (also directed toward the
center O)
• Tangential components of acceleration of C and P
are zero
25
Summary of results
26
Inverse curvature
• (R+r)/r
• VC=(R+r) (normal to OC)
• AnC=VC2/(R+r) (directed toward the center O)
• AnP=VC2/r - VC2 /(R+r) (directed away from the
center O)
• Tangential components of acceleration are zero
27

28
Now consider nonzero angular
acceleration, 0
• The results for zero angular acceleration are
still correct, but
• ACt=r (normal to OC)
• APt is still zero
• These results are valid for both types of
curvature
